HPE Nimble Storage Hard Drives
Nimble hard drives are 3.5-inch 7,200 rpm spares sold under SP-HDD part numbers, as SAS drives at 6Gb/s or 12Gb/s and, for the CS200-series arrays, as SATA drives. In HPE's 4U CS1000 to CS7000 arrays, 21 slots take HDDs and three take cache SSDs, which are listed on HPE Nimble Storage SSDs. To replace a failed drive, quote its SP-HDD number and we match capacity and interface. Drives are tested in-house, and those in stock can go out on the day of the order. Complete CS-Series arrays and the rest of the range are on HPE Nimble Storage.

Which Nimble systems use hard drives
Hard drives hold the data in Nimble's hybrid CS and HF arrays and in the ES1 and ES2-H shelves that expand them, while the AF arrays hold none.
| System | Hard drive slots (HPE and Nimble documents) | SSDs alongside them |
|---|---|---|
| CS1000 to CS7000 arrays | 21 | Three cache SSDs |
| HF20, HF40, HF60 arrays | 21, or 22 on the HF20H | Three cache SSDs, two on the HF20H |
| ES2-H shelves | 21 data drives | Three to six cache SSDs |
| ES1 hybrid shelves | 15 TB to 90 TB of raw disk per shelf | SSD cache in each shelf |
| AF1000 to AF9000 arrays | None | SSD only |
Replacing a failed Nimble drive
HPE's hardware guide lists three signs of a failed drive: its LEDs are solid red or off, an event appears in the Events list, or the array sends an alert email, and drives in an expansion shelf are reported by the array they connect to. Once the new drive is in, its operation LED should turn green within two minutes. Nimble's CS and AF data sheets give the arrays Triple+ parity RAID. Hybrid HF arrays are on HF Series arrays.
